In 1.17, copper lacks a wide variety of uses. A lazy solution to this would be to add copper tools and armor, but how common copper ore is and its real life characteristics would make it an awkward and unneeded tier. Instead, this mod adds Patinaed tools, weapons, and armor as a side tier, with opposite stats as gold.


Oxidized Copper can be smelted into Patinaed Ingots, which can be used to make very high durability (twice as much as diamond!) tools and weapons, with all other stats the same as stone and armor with mid tier defense
